Case Studies
Readers Digest - Online PublishingQ. How do you "grab" content from old web
pages, create a new format, and put everything into a database?
A. Create a smart filter that separates content from page template. Store all content in a database. Use a template builder to dynamically display all content in the new format.
Case Studies
Gembeat - Building TrafficQ. How do you generate traffic to an unknown
website with a small marketing budget?
A. Over half of Internet traffic is generated through search engines. Through targeted smart search engine registration, we achieved top ten listings with several leading sites, such as Yahoo!, AOL, and Excite. Traffic multiplied ten-fold over a three month period.
New York Rent A Car - Online ReservationsQ. How can you use the Internet to answer queries
and handle reservations that would otherwise be lost to an overburdened call center?
A. Build an online reservation system that provides intuitive navigation, detailed information, car images, availability, reservation processing, and easy administrative access to manage the process.
Case Studies
Pfizer/NIH - Managing ApplicationsQ. How do you manage a large number of
applications being faxed to you?
A. Use an online process that databases all applications and sorts according to name, date submitted, date responded to, etc.
Case Studies
Schering Plough - User TrendsA. How do we capture user trends and use that
information to improve our site and general marketing campaigns?
Q. By using cookies, we can map the user experience; determine how he navigates the site, which pages he visits the most often or views for the longest time, and at which point he leaves the site. Through analysis of user trends,we can determine those areas of greatest and least interest - how to maximize the best and improve (or kill) the worst. The data can be used for other marketing campaigns unrelated to the internet.
Case Studies
Lowe Healthcare - Managing Employee ResourcesQ. How can we best utilize our employees' skills
within companies and across the network?
A. Create an online skills database that each new employee completes. The online skills database will enable project directors to find those people, wherever they may be, whose skills best match the needs of the project.
Case Studies
Medichart Express - Digitizing Patient ExaminationsQ. How can we digitize patient examinations?
A. Through the convergence of several technologies we can digitally capture images and transcribe a doctor's dictations. All information is databased, encrypted, and secured. Through the use of keywords in the doctor's dictation, we can generate forms and automate billing.
